New Jersey S1536 allows civil actions for home improvement contracts to be filed in the county where the property is located.
New Jersey S1536 modifies the venue rules for civil actions concerning home improvement contracts for residential or non-commercial property. Currently, such actions can be brought in the county where the property is located or where any party resides. This bill would provide similar flexibility for plaintiffs in Special Civil Part, allowing them to file in the county where the property is situated. This change aims to address difficulties faced by contractors in beach communities when homeowners do not reside in the same county as their vacation homes.
